Trump says he didn’t know about Lebanese law barring contact with Israel, calls for it to be scrapped

WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump says Lebanon will have scrap legislation outlawing contact with Israel. Trump is asked about the Lebanese law while taking questions from reporters after presiding over the second round of ambassador-level negotiations between Israel and Lebanon. Trump admits he’s never heard of the legislation before.

The US State Department has reportedly been leaning on Lebanon in recent days to annul the law. “I never heard of that, but… I’m pretty sure that’ll be ended very quickly,” Trump says before turning around to seek affirmation from Rubio. “Yup,” the secretary responds.

“I know Lebanon doesn’t want that… That’s crazy,” Trump adds. The Lebanese ambassador standing behind him isn’t given an opportunity to respond. (Ed note: Doesn't our US government realize that this is a "religious war" not a "political war"?) (Source)
